Accompanied by Heishan, Zhang Baoer and Cai'er rode their unicorns up the city wall, where they saw a group of Tianyin Sect disciples and construction workers already lined up waiting to greet them.
"Greetings to the Master!"
This was what Zhang Baoer had expected. What exceeded his expectation was that those construction workers actually called him ‘Lord Master’!
This is wrong. Those construction workers are not our own, so how can they be called that?
Zhang Baoer's first thought was: Could it be that Heishan was prepared to flatter him?
So he returned the favor and said a few words, "Thank you for your hard work," and so on, and then looked at Montenegro.
Heishan was very good at observing words and expressions. When he saw Zhang Baoer looking at him, he only considered it for a while and then said with a sly smile:
"That... sect master! These brothers who helped build the city asked me to ask you if they can join our sect..."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer suddenly realized it, but he didn't believe it immediately. He glanced at the crowd and saw the nervousness and desire in their eyes before he finally believed it.
He pondered for a while, and then said to everyone:
"Tianyinmen has no plans to recruit people for the time being, but Tianyin City does..."
Everyone's eyes dimmed first, then brightened again, and continued to listen to Zhang Baoer's words:
"Tianyin City will definitely need a lot of people after it is built, but admission will be based on merit. If you have confidence in yourself, you can sign up with Deputy Director Hei after the regulations are released."
"Thank you, Master!"
"We will definitely go..."
…
After listening to everyone's answers, Zhang Baoer nodded. All this was what he expected, because these people were all hard-working. Seeing that the remuneration they received was not low, they naturally became willing to stay.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a young man and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why are you here?"
He was very surprised, because this young man was none other than Han Dao, the protagonist who struck a blow to Lixin.
Then, he looked a little bad, thinking that the spiritual stones of the father and son had been robbed or taken back by people here - if not, they are rich people, why should they come here to suffer.
Han Dao was extremely excited when he saw that Zhang Baoer still remembered him. Seeing that he looked ugly, he quickly stepped forward and said:
"My lord, the boy and his father did not dare to return to Sunset City, so they signed up to participate in the city's construction on that day."
"oh!"
Zhang Baoer understood that just because he was not afraid of the chaos in Sunset City did not mean that others were not afraid. To put it bluntly, the reason why the father and son came to build the city was because of their own faults - if he had not given them spiritual stones, they would not have had to fear anything.
?
Seeing this, Heishan rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Sir, the Han family father and son are very good people. They are down-to-earth people and work hard. I heard that after you left that day, they wanted to give the spirit stone to Director Lan to ask to join the Tianyin Sect. Director Lan confiscated it, but they agreed to join.
At the request of the city construction, Hanfu was appointed as the leader of the cooking team!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer's complexion finally improved. After seeing that the interspatial ring he gave away was still on Han Dao's hand, he finally smiled - Han's father is a one-armed man, and although Lan Chen's actions were suspected of favoritism,
But what he was doing was selfishness of his own reputation. Not only was he wrong, but he was meritorious.
So, he nodded to Han Dao and said:
"God rewards hard work, work hard, Tianyin City will not treat you badly, as long as you are willing to pay, there will be corresponding rewards!"
Hearing this, everyone smiled happily and quickly answered 'yes'.
Later, Zhang Baoer asked Heishan and the others to continue, while he and Cai'er rode a unicorn horse on the city wall.
Seeing that there were far fewer people gathered, Zhang Baoer breathed a long sigh of relief, because the effect of building another city was the same as forcing himself to open the city gates. Then he could open the city gates widely.
Looking at the new city that had already begun construction in the distance, he couldn't help but curl up his lips and said to himself: You destroyed the corpse pit of the corpse collector, just like yellow mud falling into your crotch, it is either shit or shit! Haha, why don't you give Tianyin
It brings trouble to the city, so I silently say thank you here!
At the same time, looking at the huge stones on the city wall, he couldn't help but sigh at the efficiency of the monks, because it was absolutely impossible on earth to build a city in less than a month.
After seeing that the completed part was already being patrolled by disciples, they stopped walking, walked off the city wall, and rushed to the reception area next to the city gate.
As soon as he arrived, a group of people came out to greet him in a hurry.
"Greetings to the Lord of the City!"
Zhang Baoer dismounted with Cai'er in his arms, returned the courtesy to everyone, and then walked inside.
Lan Chen followed him and reported to him what had just happened. After the guests of honor sat down, Zhang Baoer said:
"Presumably everyone has learned about Tianyin City's rules from Director Lan and is willing to accept them, right?"
Hearing this, Lan Chen looked a little weird, because what he just said was: These people asked for free because their presence can bring popularity to Tianyin City.
However, he also knew that Zhang Baoer had his own plans, so he sat aside and kept silent.
These people also have weird expressions, with a look of regret and fear in their weirdness - most of them are small forces, and there are only two first-class forces in total. Compared to the Tianyin Sect, the power of these people is not impressive enough, so
I was very confused about how to answer, and regretted my choice to come to Tianyin City.
Seeing how everyone looked at each other, Zhang Baoer became impatient and continued:
"Don't worry, everyone. In Tianyin City, integrity is the most important thing. You don't have to worry about being suppressed by anyone after you move in. As long as you do your business properly, we will keep you safe! It's not like Sunset City, where you try to survive through every crack and cranny.
You have to look at other people's faces to make ends meet... This kind of problem won't happen here."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded. When they were in Sunset City, they didn't have the ability to do the most profitable businesses, but they didn't dare to do them because they were monopolized by several giants - who dared to take advantage of them?
Stealing food?!
After everyone discussed for a while, one of the two first-rate forces handed over his hand and said:
"I came here precisely because I believe in Gaomen's credibility...it's just..."
At this point, his voice weakened and a look of worry appeared on his eyes.
"...The rent is a bit high, and there are also taxes..."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer nodded and said with a smile:
"It seems that everyone hasn't understood what I just said..."
Everyone was surprised, thinking that Zhang Baoer would be angry, but in the end they found that Zhang Baoer did not look angry, and still said with a warm face:
"What I mean is that you can do the most profitable businesses, and you can also do the businesses our Tianyinmen does. As long as you follow the rules and compete reasonably, you can do whatever you want! Haha, after all, that's it.
, rent and taxes are actually not high at all!”
Everyone was shocked and showed expressions of disbelief. The person who spoke just now couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me...how long does it take to pay the rent?"
"The rent is collected once a year and paid in advance! In addition, we will also set up a financial bureau. Under the financial bureau, there is a Tianyin Bank. Tianyin has deposit and loan business. Deposits can earn interest and can be withdrawn at any time. It is absolutely safe; borrowing and lending
Physical mortgages and interest payments are required; deposits and loans require witnesses, and the witnesses can be our Civil Affairs Bureau, or they can be invited by themselves."
This passage was not long, but it made everyone confused for a while, and it took them a long time to react.
Afterwards, everyone's eyes gleamed, and they couldn't help but nod their heads - they thought the rent would be paid every ten years or even a hundred years, but it turned out that it was only for one year. Even if they were not satisfied, they could leave at that time.
As for Tianyin Bank, that's even more amazing. Sooner or later, business people will encounter difficulties in cash flow. If they can borrow money as collateral, it will be a big help. Moreover, they said they need witnesses, so they don't have to worry about being hacked.
In addition, deposits are also a good thing, especially for those who are going to Babai Volcano for business and are worried that they will never come back. They can save their belongings. If the person dies, their family can still take them away without losing money.
Two losses.
They are all smart people, so after being shocked, they also thought about whether to follow suit and set up a bank... But they rejected it just thinking about it - it can be done in other places, but not in Tianyin City. This is their home.
On this land, people worked so hard to build such a big city, probably to serve this bank.
Afterwards, everyone expressed their agreement and were willing to finalize the matter now - if the rent was to be paid once for more than ten years, they would have to ask for instructions or discuss with others, but if the rent was paid for one year, it was within their rights.
He originally thought that Zhang Baoer would sit down and sign a contract with them, but after seeing their agreement, Zhang Baoer stood up and left, saying that this was not his responsibility, so you can just find Lan Chen and others.
After the incident, Zhang Baoer went back and saw Li Bai already waiting there. When he stepped forward and asked, it turned out that he was delivering goods - his Tang Dao was ready!
Zhang Baoer was overjoyed. After taking the long wooden box, he immediately opened it.
choke!
A cold light came out, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help shouting:
"Good knife!"
As the name suggests, the sword is sea-grained, with an overall sea-blue color and a wave-like pattern on the upper reaches. If you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s heavenly gold.
This knife is very heavy, but Zhang Baoer feels that it is just right - his body is different from ordinary people, and ordinary weapons are too light for him.
Immediately, he walked into his courtyard and took out more than a dozen sword techniques. The "Thirteen Deadly Swordsmanship" he had received from the Lu family and his son was also here - not long ago, he also made a rubbing of a handbook.
Give it to Zhuo Leng.
After thinking about it, he did not choose "Thirteen Deadly Swordsmen". This sword technique was indeed powerful, but he felt that it had too many flaws and was not suitable for him.
In addition, the level of this sword technique is too low. He has a higher level sword technique in his hand.
After choosing for a while, his eyes were fixed on the "Wind and Cloud Sword Technique" given by Hai Ming.
"Fengyun Sword Technique", as its name suggests, can be practiced to a great level, with the sound of a dragon or a tiger, and the sword energy can be cut through the air, and it can destroy anything within one foot.
When thinking of sword energy, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but think of his qin, because he was no stranger to sword energy, and his qin could emit sword energy - although at that time some people said it was sword energy.
He was not surprised that the "Fengyun Sword Technique" could display sword energy, because the grade of this sword technique was not the Xuan level, but the low level of the Earth level!
Swish, swish, swish!
Zhang Baoer is a man of action. After he made sure that he had memorized the moves and techniques, he started practicing, but...
"Eh..."
After practicing for the second time, he stopped dejectedly—his spiritual power was not enough.
His Dantian is smaller than that of ordinary people, not to mention that he is practicing earth-level martial arts, which consumes a lot of spiritual power.
However, despite being annoyed, there was also joy in his eyes, because although it was a bit stiff and unfamiliar the first time, it became fluent the second time, and he felt that it would only take five or six days to practice to a small level.
"Isn't it said that it takes months or even years for ordinary people to achieve success? Could it be that I, Zhang Baoer, am really a unique genius..."
Regarding this question, he was just stunned for a moment, then grinned and gave the answer:
"I am a genius!"
After saying this, he lay down on another rocking chair next to the one where Cai'er was sitting, and practiced himself carefully - in order to restore the depleted spiritual energy.
He still has no skills to practice, although he has many high-grade spiritual stones on his body, and even two top-grade spiritual stones - there were originally seven, but after learning about it, Haiming asked for three, saying that he wanted to prepare Granny Aoki for her breakthrough.
, the two brothers may not have enough high-quality spiritual stones; Zhang Baoer finally gave him five yuan.
Although the high-grade spirit stone does little harm to the monk's body, Zhang Baoer still decided not to use it. After all, his cultivation level was stuck there. What if he accidentally broke through?
Naturally, the best spiritual stone cannot be used. The spiritual power is too vast, and it is difficult to say that it will burst his Dantian; besides, although the best spiritual stone is pure enough, it is too precious. Even the two big figures Hai Ming and Hai Ping
I only have about ten dollars on my body.
Time passed slowly, just over two hours, Zhang Baoer's spiritual power recovered, and he immediately started practicing "Fengyun Sword Technique" again.
On this day, except for being urged to make a meal by Liu Ruxi and Unicorn Ma at noon, he spent the whole day practicing or resting.
However, on this day, he only practiced three times, that is, six times, because during the last time, he felt that his meridians were tingling and had to stop.
For this reason, he found Haiping and asked the old man for advice - he was worried that there was something wrong with his body.
Hai Ping smiled and said:
"There is nothing wrong with your body, it's just that you have practiced too much... Haha, everything has a degree. The human body is like a bow. When it is not in use, the tight bow string will generally relax. If not, it will become weak over time.
It affects resilience!”
Zhang Baoer suddenly realized it, and secretly thought that he should study hard and master basic knowledge. He couldn't just ask someone when something happened, right?
So, he made a plan: practice two or four times every morning, study in the afternoon, and when tired from studying, he would ride a horse and wander around, checking various tasks along the way.
Time passed by in a hurry, and it was eight days before he knew it. On this day, Zhang Baoer got up early as usual to practice sword skills, but when he practiced the second move for the second time, he couldn't help but stop and said with a look of surprise.
